Mustafa, new Bulog CEO: Where's the fit & proper test?
Only days after the former CEO Puspoyo Widjanarko named a suspect and hours after detained, government appoint Mustafa Abubakar as the new CEO of Bulog. This is very much in contrast with PLN CEO Eddie Widiono Suwondo who is maintained in his position even though he was detained several months as a suspect in corruption case.
Can we say this is government's response to criticism about pathetic slow decision making in the selection of state-owned companies executives?
Well, there are SOEs that need few months of fit & proper tests. One listed company, Bukit Asam, once even left without executives for several weeks.
But appointment of Mustafa, former acting governor of Aceh, is so fast if we use the normal process of fit & proper. I just got SMS this morning that VP Jusuf Kalla tipped Mustafa as candidate for Bulog CEO. So, I'm quite surprised to read Detik.com that Mustafa had been sworn in this afternoon. It deserved an explanation still.

I believe this one is the reward from RI-1 and RI-2 for his successful job during his power as the caretaker of aceh's governor. Heard that he was a bit hesitant to accept this new task, as he expected to get another new highly appointment, such as new chief of BRR or Ambassador or even as a minister if the reshuffle takes place. Plus this Bulog is not easy to handle and he does not have good background about the new job, although he got degrees from IPB.
Regarding the fit&proper test, we see that the gov't was treating differently on their state company reshuffle. We can see on the telkom, jamsostek, pln and so on.
Some they did it by proper annual general meeting, some they appointed the caretaker, some they just replaced straight away..
so, actually gov't, in this case, have to do equal treatment to the all the state company in terms of the board of directors reshuffle, not disturbed by all other entity including the political parties.
they have to do the test properly.
There is nothing wrong on the person itself. mustafa is good, i think he is capable and quite honest and straight forward . We can see that he can handle aceh during the gam-ri agreement and also during the election.
It is just that the gov't have to be fair on the procedure on the changes of their state company bod.
Plus the person has to have the good background on their appointment.
